In Episode 28, you’ll hear the inspiring story of Rola Ghasani, who was born in Lebanon, raised in Australia, and now lives in Texas. She was the youngest of a large family, quieted by the voices of others throughout her life.

• The 5 factors of Rola’s F Method

• The simple and transformative EFT Tapping Method
